The IDLffDicomExQuery object allows you to query the contents of a remote DICOM node that has been configured to work with IDL’s DICOM Network Service feature, and to retrieve DICOM files available on that node. See Defining a Machine to Be Queried for an overview of the process and information about parameters that need to be set on the remote and local machines. See Using IDL DICOM Network Services for more information.

Any query that can be performed using this object can also be performed using the graphical user interface provided by the DICOM Network Services utility. See Querying a Remote Machine for a description of that utility. Parameters accessible through this object correspond to those shown on the Query Retrieve SCU tab of the DICOM Network Services utility.
